- Create and test prototypes of service concepts to ensure effective delivery.
- Plan and support the implementation of service improvements at scale.

As a team, we value:

- ** Lived experience and dignity**:We center the needs and voices of the people who stand to be the most impacted by our work.
- ** Interdependence and solidarity**: We center practices and outcomes that are mutually beneficial, use research to understand historical and cultural contexts, and build on existing efforts.
- ** Collaboration and accountability**:We build and nourish relationships based on care, honesty, and reciprocity, and take responsibility for the intended and unintended consequences of our actions.
- ** Transformation and impact**:We assess root causes of inequity and dysfunction and develop plans, strategies, and tools that help people move through change.
